"Few if any of the people recruiting you explicitly said: “One of the big reasons we’re hiring you is because we think you will fit in, that you share our implicit values and beliefs, and that you will adjust easily to our norms.” They probably didn’t say this because they are unaware of how strongly they apply cultural criteria in hiring. In accepting their offer, you may also have been oblivious to the weight you were putting on value fit. The net result is that **you and probably all your recently hired peers are easy candidates for what is called “socialization”—the inculcation of the company’s norms and values**." --- **Tags** -- [[quotes]], [[organisational-culture]], [[in-group-out-group-bias]], [[association-bias]], [[social-comparison-bias]] **Source** -- [[20250320103315 - B - Leading Change]]
